The flexible big man, who was in limbo after West Coast decided to snare St Kilda ruckman Tom Hickey, has signed a two-year contract.
Roughead, who will turn 28 in November, provides solid support for All Australian ruckman Brodie Grundy and Mason Cox and has the versatility to play at either end.

"We think he can play just about anywhere," Collingwood list manager Ned Guy said.
"We think he plays straight away for us. He can play in the ruck, he can play key back, he can play key forward.
"We’re real excited to add Jordan to our list."
